Open File through IWP

[Rushhour]

Hi

I tried using 'openurl' to open a file. It is possible with filemaker client but failed in IWP. Anyone knows anyway that able to make it possible..?

Thanks a lot

Not sure what you want to do... make a file that is on the machine running FMS become hosted?

This was actually possible for a brief moment in FMP 5 (might have been 5.5 or 6.0) when there were specific CDML codes to open and close hosted files... but the functionality was quickly revoked when the negative security implications became apparent.

Hi

I done a file that only allows users to read the status of our domain whether active or expired. Theres this icon name 'certificate', users able to click on it to launch the pdf format file and view the document. It works if i remote login with filemaker client. But Users access by IWP failed.

Actual path:

I:AdminDomain Names RegistrationDomain Name in PDFDN (.com)xxx.com.pdf

Path shown in address bar using IWP:

http://i/Admin/Domain%20Names%20Registration/Domain%20Name%20in%20PDF/DN%20(.com)/xxx.com.pdf

Anyway..?

Thanks a lot

The I drive isn't available when there is nobody logged on. Drive mapping is a user thing and the WPE & FMS run as services with nobobdy logged on.

If your IWP users are all inside your LAN, then try the UNC syntax of the share. Even that may fail because of whatever privileges are set on the share.

If your users are outside your lan then I don't think this will work at all unless you put the file on your web server.

Hi Wim

Yeah users are on lan. And they have access to I Drive.

Previleges set is as "guest", script are executable. Should not be a problem as its executable with remote login.

"UNC syntax of the share"..? Sorry i do not really understand.. how to do it..?

Thanks a lot
